Random Points

We haven't had meunster in awhile & it IS one of my favorite cheeses, so enjoy.

-We made donuts this weekend. They tasted good yesterday...not so much today. I will, however, have to perfect them further if they'll ever be fit to serve to family & friends. Frankly, I'm not convinced this is something my waistline needs me to work on perfecting.

-I rode a mechanical bull yesterday. It made me dizzy.

-My coworker still walks her 9 year old son into school and to his locker every morning. Is that weird? It struck me as weird. She's divorced and her older son (I think he's 20) is kind of a screwed up kid, so maybe she's just over-coddling this younger one.

-I just checked out all of Green Bay's picks in the draft & am quite pleased. There was a lot of good talent available this year. I think a lot of teams are happy. I think it would be exciting to work the draft in some capacity. Lots of tense excitement.

-I'm going to lunch today for a coworker's birthday. We are going to Panera. Totally forgot. I must have a salad given the horrendous diet of mine yesterday: donuts & coffee, chicken nachos, lots of beer (at least I drank Miller Lite instead of my normal full calorie microbrews), 1 glass of water, 1/2 c. of leftover corn chowder & a pork roast sandwich. Oh, I also had a handfull of grapes in the morning. At least there was some fruit involved.

-That recap of my food yesterday made me slightly nausious.

-We watched a few movies courtesty of free Starz weekend. We never go out to movies & rarely rent, so lots of new stuff for us! We watched National Treasure & Hitch. Both were very good. I'd seen Hitch before with my sister, but it was new for Chris. Chris also watched an oldie from childhood: Flight of the Navigator, which I'd never seen. I half-watched it while cleaning house.

-Last weekend we watched Jarhead. I liked it because it didn't try to be a bang-up war movie. Given the situation of our friends in Iraq right now, I think there is a good portion of soldiers that get all excited to go over & do what they've been trained for, but end up sitting around a lot & pulling patrol type jobs. Many of them feel it's a huge waste of their time away from their families & other jobs. Aside from the fact I don't think we should be there anymore, I guess I understand the need for patrol soldiers, it's just too bad they are bored & have to be away from their jobs & families for so long for such a boring, repetitive task. However, in our friends' units, lots of soldiers are working on their undergrad & graduate degrees online since the military will pay for it. It's a very constructive use of their time at least and getting your education paid for is a pretty darn good benefit of being in the military.

-ETA: Geg is going to INXS today...first row. She'd better save me some of their sweat.

Try to have a good Monday!
